School

A study in repetition and constraint, 'School' hammers its central complaint with the force of a fist on a desk. The lyrics cycle through the same refrain, building frustration through sheer insistence: no recess, no escape, no break in the monotony. It's a song about being trapped, about the suffocating routine of institutional life, delivered with the kind of existential grind that defines the record. The track sits among the album's purest expressions of rage, its abraded construction and howling intensity cutting through the surrounding material. Where other moments on the record hint at pop sensibility, 'School' commits fully to the weight of its subject, letting repetition do the work that melody might elsewhere. The result is claustrophobic and urgent, a song that sounds exactly like what it describes.
